(929) Washington Nationals at (930) Seattle Mariners
9:40pm EDT - May 28/2025

THE PLAY: Seattle Mariners Total Over 4.5 (-120) T Williams (RHP), G Kirby (RHP) Must Start

Trevor Williams gets the ball tonight for the Nationals who has struggled throughout this 2025 season holding a 6.39 ERA. His form is even worse during the month of May while giving up 16 earned runs over 19.1 innings pitched. This Seattle lineup has success against him with 47 plate appearances and a combined .326 batting average. Another issue with Williams is that he has only completed the 6th inning once this season and will have to turn the ball over to the 2nd worst bullpen across the MLB with a 6.17 ERA. This Mariners team should get to Trevor Williams early and often as well as be able to hit a struggling bullpen that is consistently giving up runs to cover the team total of over 4.5 runs.

Consultant Bio

Working at a country club a mile east of Del Mar Racetrack, Sean was introduced to horse racing and his passion for the sport took off. The puzzle of going through past performances and replays appealed to Sean and spent his time after work listening to respected handicappers to learn as much as he could. In his first season playing the NHC Tour, he qualified for the Championship by placing 2nd in the LRF Cares contest after turning his initial $250 bankroll into $3,640.40. In this year's Xpressbet Kentucky Derby contest, Sean finished 6th by flipping the $2,000 bankroll into $15,681.85 while also taking home a 2024 Pegasus World Cup Betting Challenge entry valued at $6,000.
